Error description
A number of occurrences in the current plan have a mainframe operation that has several FTA non-centralized operations as successors. When the mainframe operation is set to NP FTA operations all become stuck in SU status and the work directory ( WRKDIR ) must be rebuilt and then a REPLAN run to correct the problem. This occurs even if the FTA operations are set to NP first. If however the mainframe operation is changed to a non-executable (NOEX) workstation the problem does not occur. When the problem occurs message EQQPT76W and EQQPT35E are seen in the E2E server task EQQMLOG . The text of the EQQPT76W message is similar to this: EQQPT76W Cannot delete dependency "OPCMASTER#aaaaaaa_aaaaaaaa((hhmm mm/dd/yy),(GLOBAL)).SPECIAL_RESOURCES" -> "OPCMASTER#bbbbbbbb-bbbbb((hhmm mm/dd/yy),(tttttttttttttttt)).J_nnn_bbbbbbbb-bbbbb because Symphony is not yet updated; waiting and retrying.
Local fix
Change the mainframe operation that has FTA successors to have a non-executable workstatioon instead of setting it to NP
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All TWS and IWS for z/OS users running E2E. * * FUNCTION=E2E * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: FTA operations, successors of a z/OS * * operation, remain in SU status if the * * z/OS operation is NOPped. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** If an occurrence in the current plan has a mainframe operation that has several FTA non-centralized operations as successors, when the mainframe operation is NOPped, the FTA operations become stuck in SU status. The messages EQQPT76W and EQQPT35E are incorrectly issued in the E2E Sterver task MLOG.
Problem conclusion
When the z/OS operation is NOPped a wrong code path in successor FTA status handling is selected, trying to delete a Special Resource. A check has been added to prevent the error. The same error for the FTA operations might also occur if the predecessor z/OS operation is manually completed, instead of being NOPped.
